Product details
Overview
AZ809NSTR-E1 from BCD Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited is a 3-pin microprocessor supervisory IC that monitors VCC supply voltage (3.0V/3.3V/5.0V) and asserts an active-low RESET signal during power-up, power-down, or brown-out events. It features a factory-programmed 3.08V reset threshold (T variant), 240ms typical reset timeout, 8μA typical supply current at 3.3V, and operates across –40°C to +105°C in SOT-23 package - used for reliable reset control in battery-powered embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the AZ809NSTR-E1 datasheet, AZ809NSTR-E1 pinout, AZ809NSTR-E1 application, or AZ809NSTR-E1 equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy (±30mV at 25°C), guaranteed 140ms minimum timeout, low-quiescent-current operation, and compatibility with Maxim MAX809 replacement requirements in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The AZ809NSTR-E1 implements a precision bandgap reference and comparator-based monitoring circuit that triggers reset when VCC drops below its 3.08V threshold (T-grade), with ±0.003%/°C temperature coefficient. Its internal timer ensures reset remains asserted for ≥140ms after VCC recovers above threshold.
It requires no external components, supports full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +105°C), and delivers rail-to-rail output drive capability: VOL ≤ 0.3V at 1.2mA sink (AZ809), VOH ≥ 0.8VCC at 500μA source - enabling direct interface with 3.3V and 5V logic families.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TRD+T | Same 3.08V threshold, but 140ms min timeout (vs. AZ809's 240ms typ), higher 15μA ICC | Valid for legacy designs requiring Maxim pinout and timing; less margin for slow-rising VCC | Select if existing board uses MAX809 footprint and timing budget allows shorter timeout |
| TPS3808G30DBVR | Adjustable threshold via external resistor; 200ms fixed timeout; 1.2μA ICC; requires external component | Used where programmable trip point or ultra-low ICC is mandatory, not drop-in replacement | Choose only when design flexibility justifies added BOM item and layout area |
Compared with MAX809TRD+T and TPS3808G30DBVR, the AZ809NSTR-E1 offers longer guaranteed reset hold time (140ms min vs. 140ms min but 240ms typ), lower operating current than MAX809, and zero external components - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained, and long-battery-life applications.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for AZ809NSTR-E1?
The AZ809NSTR-E1 has a factory-programmed reset threshold of 3.08V, with tolerance of ±30mV at 25°C and ±75mV over –40°C to +85°C. This corresponds to the "T" option in BCD's ordering code, optimized for 3.3V supply monitoring in embedded systems.
Does AZ809NSTR-E1 require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes - the RESET pin is an open-drain active-low output and must be pulled up externally to the target logic rail (e.g., 3.3V or 5V). Typical pull-up values range from 10kΩ to 100kΩ, selected based on rise time and bus loading requirements.
Can AZ809NSTR-E1 operate with a 1.8V supply?
No - the minimum recommended VCC is 1.2V per datasheet, but functional reset behavior is only specified down to 1.2V with degraded accuracy. For reliable 1.8V system supervision, BCD recommends the AZ803 series (1.6V threshold option), not the AZ809NSTR-E1.
Is AZ809NSTR-E1 pin-compatible with MAX809?
Yes - AZ809NSTR-E1 uses identical SOT-23 pinout (VCC, GND, RESET) and active-low output function as MAX809. However, timing differs: AZ809NSTR-E1 guarantees ≥140ms timeout (240ms typical), while MAX809 specifies ≥140ms min with no typical value - requiring validation in timing-critical designs.
